The clearest difference is price: ntPlayer at Free against 鸟's $0.99. ntPlayer also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). 鸟's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
